Well, pretty much. We're leaving in just a few minutes to head to the airport for our trip to Colorado. We're having the McCurry Christmas there this year. Ian's parents, sister (and fam) and us are all flying out from California. Then several other aunts and uncles are coming in from various other places, to join up with the folks that are already in Colorado. There should be a good group of us (maybe 40?), several of whom I've never meet before. It should be a fun, busy and cold trip! We're really looking forward to seeing his family and having Christmas with them - we feel a little like this might be a one-time adventure, so we're going to make the most of it.
We're also really looking forward to a change of scenery - we both love Colorado. Ian went to college there and my family went there every summer of my childhood to a family camp. There is just something about Colorado - it smells so...crisp. And clean. And it's so beautiful. We'll be in the mountains about 20 minutes from Colorado Springs. Surprisingly, the weather is better there than here, where it's been raining for 6 days straight. (If you're following this blog and you read the last post, here's the update: the leak situation has escalated from just towels on the inside ledge to a fan and heater on the damp carpet and trash bags and tarps on the outside. And we're leaving town! Yikes!) So we're looking forward to seeing the sun!
I'm also excited to celebrate and remember the first advent - for I know what it points to. Come Lord Jesus!
Merry Christmas all.
PS - We just bought a camera! So watch out, blog world - a whole new Esther is on her way for 2011!
